Known for its sandy beaches and good nightlife, Bournemouth is a popular seaside resort on the Dorset coast between Poole and Christchurch.
The town is centred on the Bourne River, running downhill towards the sea by Bournemouth Pier. This pier looks back towards a promenade lined with beach huts at the foot of grassy cliffs. The promenade continues west to Poole, while a road goes east to neighbouring Boscombe, where anglers often fish from its pier. Overlooking it is a clifftop road housing some Bournemouth hotels with sea views.
Booking.com also offers hotels near the BIC – Bournemouth International Centre in the West Cliff area. This convention centre and music venue is a short walk from the Art Deco Pavilion Theatre, located next to the Lower Gardens. In this popular city park is the Bournemouth Eye, a tethered hot air balloon that offers far-reaching views.
At the park’s top end the river disappears under a large square, then emerges in the Central Gardens. Overlooking these gardens is the Victorian town hall, which used to be one of several spa hotels in Bournemouth. Opposite is a Grade I-listed church, and St Peter’s Church has the grave of Mary Shelley, author of ‘Frankenstein’.
On the outskirts of town, near 4 golf courses and the Castlepoint Shopping Centre, is Bournemouth Airport.
Great beaches for kids, has a little fun fair on the pier.

Me and my fiance went with friends for our sten Do (stag&hen). It was pleasant weather, relatively affordable, good food & entertaining mini golf. We also went to the mini market Sunday morning which we all enjoyed. Would definitely recommend as it was not too busy.

Bournemouth is a very nice town with beautiful sandy beaches. There is plenty of choices for lunch and dinner.
It is a bit out-of-date and looks like its glory days are gone though, as there were many closed shops at the city centre and the feeling was it looked a bit sad and abandoned.

The problem with Bournemouth is it is rather run down there are a lot of homeless people sleeping in doorways i think there were rumours of rats in the park but the bus system is brilliant we did go to swanage and Poole shopping overall I would go to Bournemouth again but would not walk about in the dark
The room is vey good , well designed , my wife liked the decor . Breakfast was the best part of the stay , start with nicely brewed coffee , delicious home baked pastry , cooked breakfast by the finest chef , a personalised service from the waitress serving breakfast , followed by creamy yoghurt and fruit salad made with perfection . The location is great , 5 mins walk to the Bournemouth pier , town and 5 mins drive to Bournemouth square , my wife loved it and will definitely go there again , the owner was very friendly and welcoming .
We had a great stay at The Hedley Townhouse. The hotel is spotless, nicely decorated and the rooms are nice and comfortable. The owners are super friendly and caring for their guests. They put breakfast items in the tea room in the morning, which was very nice before starting the day exploring the area. The location is perfect, just a few steps from the beach in a quiet area with dining options around. It was a great experience all around and we would stay there again if coming back to Bournemouth!
The apartment was perfect for my elderly parents and myself, and excellent value compared to a hotel. Although situated on the 2nd floor there is a lift which was ideal. Communication from our host, Andrew, was brilliant and very helpful especially for check in. The apartment was spacious, comfortable and clean. Location was great, being so close to the beach and the centre of Bournemouth and it was so convenient having our own parking space. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you Andrew.
I had a very pleasant stay by the sea. The apartment was spotlessly cleaned and well equipped. My first experience booking a whole apartmnet rather than a hotel. It was compact but absolutly spot on for my needs. Free parking space was an unexpected bonus for the town centre location.
Thank you again for your help and letting me book in the last minute. I will most likely be back with my family in the summer to enjoy Bournemouth Beach.
Booked for joint birthday celebration and theatre visit so we wanted something near the centre of Bournemouth plus parking, which is very expensive in the town car parks. The room was very warm and comfy, the staff were great and the breakfast was extremely good and plentiful. Easy stroll into town & all that it offers. This hotel was a great little find & I'd definitely book again.
I liked the eco credentials especially the room fan and being offered a summer sheet, the staff were very welcoming and helpful, the plentiful water and nice biscuits in the room.
The location is ideal for me, near the buses and the beach
Food in the restaurant delicious and different and the best coffee at any hotel in Bournemouth for breakfast!
Located in the cleaner and leafier end of west Bournemouth hotel land, this small hotel is one of many in between the city centre (The Triangle) and the West Cliff. Basic, a bit dated but functional and comfortable. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful, letting me leave a suitcase for a few hours after I checked out. Good value.
this boutique hotel near to Bournemouth beach was very personal. a warm welcome and staff couldn’t do enough for you. my husband is coeliac and was catered for really well.
have stayed in many hotels in the area this is by far amongst the top.
decor is lovely and only 5 mins by car to seafront and theatres
It was in the best position for the beach,pier, lower gardens and the Bournemouth International centre. But more importantly the owner was very polite and welcoming and there were no petty rules and regulations. The whole hotel was clean and the breakfast was delicious and everyone was catered for
The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the hotel was just what we were looking for. It is in an excellent location near to the beach and perfect for a short walk to the BIC for a show. Dinner and breakfast were spot on. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Bournemouth.
Location is great near the beach, approx. 10 minute walk from the hotel.
Price was reasonable for a saturday night.
Nice Location in a nice part of Bournemouth, quiet and would be good for families or friends.
Absolutely everything Debbie was a lovely host and so accommodating. Our room was just perfect. Spotlessly clean couldn't fault a thing. The best hotel we have stayed in all the times we have come to Bournemouth.
The hotel is very welcoming with its own character. Our room was spacious and warm. The staff were friendly and approachable. Parking is good and it’s a beautiful walk to reach Bournemouth or the beaches.
Really spacious room and comfy bed. Staff were helpful. Location was good but a car was needed to get into Bournemouth. It seems that all the hotels are situated outside the town centre.
The hotel is a great location and I had a wonderful view of the beach from my room. The staff were really friendly and accommodating. I ate dinner and breakfast there which was lovely.
Hotel very clean, staff very friendly and helpful, great bar, excellent breakfast options/choice and location was perfect for our stay. Walking distance to town, beach and gardens!!
